The trail was dedicated in Kiefer's honor and is formerly known as the Springhill Valley Trail, a three-quarter-mile trail that connects the neighborhood near Springhill Elementary School with the Lafayette Ridge Trail at the far southeast edge of Briones Regional Park. Kiefer oversaw construction of the trail in 1988, and is now coordinator of the city of Lafayette's Volunteer Trails Maintenance Program.
